Moment in Time Revisited

This 1917 photograph shows the members of the Grandview Heights Red Cross "Production Corp" in their regulation uniforms during the 1917 Grandview Field Day celebration. The Women's Bureau of the American Red Cross recruited women across the country to make bandages and knit socks and sweaters for the troops during WWI. From 1917 to 1919 eight million Production Corp members produced over 370 million relief items for the allied armed forces and civilians in war-torn Europe. Mrs. Christian Jeager (far left) is holding a ribbon labeled "Field Day 1917.”
